Follow Cautiously
Follow Cautiously
By Curtis Johnson
It’s not that one does not understand the advice
It’s that some have been an observer of human life
It’s not that one has not listened to the good and the wise
It’s just that not all counsel, though ancient, is always right
One must not always follow, without question, one’s heart
For the heart does not always make for great leadership
The heart sometime shifts from one way to another, and turns;
And often, the heart knows neither what to do, nor where to go
Moreover, the heart suffers from an ancient and incurable disease
It’s disease of deception is known only by the wise and the few
But the answer to its cure is not a secret,
If one dares to utilize its maker’s view
